If the 1% was to be constantly followed My market along with Toronto and Vancouver would technically be terrible investments, while historically they have been very profitable.If you shoot me a PM I will send you  a basic spreadsheet geared towards the way I evaluate.

It's a terrible option if you're looking for a relatively short-term resale due to equity, but I don't see how it could be a bad option if the goal is to hold long-term.Am I missing something about this or is this really what it looks like: A first-time real estate investor's dream financing option for cash flow?

Those internet school rankings are terrible...at least in my area.
